 For KSRM News, I'm Adriana Hernandez-Santana. The U.S. Army Engineer and Research Development Center is breaking ground on a new facility aimed at studying permafrost. The permafrost tunnel operations facility will be built in Fox, adjacent to a research facility dug into the permafrost. Officials say scientists will use the facility to study polar science, permafrost engineering, and geotechnical engineering. Construction is expected to be completed in late 2025.
